LYRICS
GIL BRENTLEY:
I’M NOT A SENTIMENTAL PERSON
THAT’S WHAT THEY ALWAYS TOLD ME
DON’T NEED SOMEONE TO HOLD ME
I’D RATHER STAND APART
I’M NOT A SENTIMENTAL PERSON.
IT’S NOT WHAT I’M DESIGNED FOR
CAN’T SAY I’VE EVER PINED FOR
SOMEONE TO BREAK MY HEART
SO WHY DOES THE MOON SEEM BRIGHTER
AND MY FEET MUCH LIGHTER
AND THE BREEZE ELECTRIFYING?
WAVES WHISPER AS THEY FLOW BY –
IT’S AS IF THEY KNOW I
FEEL LIKE CRYING.
DO THEY KNOW?
DO YOU KNOW?
IF I’M A SENTIMENTAL PERSON,
IT’S ALL BECAUSE YOU FOUND ME
I CHANGE WHEN YOU’RE AROUND ME
SO DARLING, COULD IT BE TRUE
THAT YOU’RE A SENTIMENTAL PERSON TOO?
ABOUT
A new musical reminding us that love is never obsolete.
Emmy® and Golden Globe Award® winner Darren Criss (Little Shop of Horrors) returns to Broadway alongside Helen J Shen in the new romantic musical comedy MAYBE HAPPY ENDING.
Inside a one-room apartment on the outskirts of Seoul, Oliver lives a happily quiet life, listening to jazz records and caring for his favorite plant. But what else is there to do when you’re a Helperbot 3, a robot that has long been retired and considered obsolete? When his fellow Helperbot neighbor Claire asks to borrow his charger, what starts as an awkward encounter leads to a unique friendship, a surprising adventure, and maybe even…love?
Winner of the Richard Rodgers Award, MAYBE HAPPY ENDING is the offbeat and captivating story of two outcasts near the end of their warranty who discover that even robots can be swept off their feet. Helmed by visionary director and Tony Award® winner Michael Arden (Parade, Once on This Island), with a dazzling scenic design by Dane Laffrey (A Christmas Carol) and book, music, and lyrics by the internationally acclaimed duo Will Aronson and Hue Park, MAYBE HAPPY ENDING is a fresh, original musical about the small things that make any life worth living.
